Absolutely correct. The rule is that if you can see a red (port) light you must give way, as the ship to starboard has the right-of-way. This of course assumes that the ships are the same size, and there are other rules as well.
On the other hand, no-one at sea should ever assume anything, which is why things like this happen.
